We have used a 3-dimensional MHD simulation to investigate a dynamic process producing flux cancellation on the solar surface. Our calculations are fully self-consistent in that any prescribed dynamic process is not applied on the surface, which is self-consistently generated via the emergence of a twisted flux tube. Most of the flux that emerges below the surface is in the form of $\Omega$-loops ...
